Here’s one of the weirdest statements you’re ever likely to hear. Sarah Palin grumbling that she couldn’t find a single person in the McCain campaign she wanted to pray with before the VP debate:

“So I’m looking around for somebody to pray with, I just need maybe a little help, maybe a little extra,” said Palin. “And the McCain campaign, love ‘em, you know, they’re a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray.”

I imagine the real prayers started for the McCain people when Palin took the stage. You betcha.
